Well....finally done it....!

[adriancrowson]

Hello all

I have done it. Started with an MK Indy, managed it for 12 months. Sold that and got a Lotus Elise S1. sold it. Just got myself a Westfield. WOW...what a car. It has a 2ltr 16v RedTop motor with 135 miles on the clock.

i have one problem...the steering wheel is 250mm, i cant hold onto the car!! anyone know where i can get a 300mm undrilled MOMO?

Hiya, Im Brand new here too.

Nice choise of cars, I was tempted with an s1 also but I wanted a toy and didnt need a car, so westfield it was. Glad I made the right choice now.

Have you tried Demon Tweeks?

I have thought about one from Demon...but im sure you know the problem...."her who must be listened too if you want toys"...thinks i have spent enough for January, so im looking for a second hand one.

what motor have you got in yours?

What do mean "you can`t hold on to it?"

[adriancrowson]

[adriancrowson]

I have joined the club but not had my card through yet so i cant activate?

Welcome,

Try 'parts for sale section', ebay, or lowcost builders forum.

I would go to your local club meet and see if you can try a few guys cars with different wheek sizes, before you make final decision.

Knee clearance can become an issue with lager steering wheels.

Mind you I am 6'4"

[adriancrowson]

i was looking for a wheel with a flat bottom to help with the leg room. i have looked on the all sites i can think off and cant find a 300 flat bottom....may have to get a new one!!!

[chippy]

I bought my wheel from Westfield - it was a pretty competive price

[adriancrowson]

Chippy....can you check the size if possible. The MAX i can have is 300mm and then it will need the flat bottom

Thanks for the others guys..i will have a look.

Got my club membership stuff today. 2 mags to read. the wife is so so happy!!!!!!

i was looking at it on e-bay is it as good in the flesh as on the pics? i really fancied it but need to make space in my garage first. what does it compare like to your old MK? bet it goes like a bat out of hell!! why did the previos owner not use it then? i will be making a purchase soon but still not sure wether to go for a bike engined westie? bet you cant wait for the nice weather to come. all the best Dean
